Pediatricians exclusively treat children, caring for all aspects of a child's physical, mental and social health. From birth through adolescence, pediatricians help prevent accidents and illnesses, monitor health and well-being, and provide additional care as needed. Even when your pediatrician refers your child to other doctors for specialty care, your pediatrician will coordinate that care and keep you informed of test results, treatment plans and other information.
Because of the important role they play in a child's life, many parents want to meet with a pediatrician during pregnancy or before selecting a child's primary care provider. When contacting pediatricians' offices, you might want to find out if you can schedule an interview appointment that will allow you to meet informally and ask questions.
Sutter Physicians Alliance pediatricians are located throughout the region to provide easy, convenient access to children's care. In addition, some pediatric offices provide extended hours to accommodate family work schedules.
